BEHIND THE SCENES
OUR WRITERS
WELCOME TO OUTBACK AUSTRALIA
The outback, the Top End, the Red Centre. Whatever you call it, outback
Australia has an elemental feel to it. It’s here that so many
Aussie landmarks of international repute reside, from Uluru,
Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and Kings Canyon in the centre,
Katherine and Darwin to the north, Coober Pedy to the south
and Lake Mungo in outback New South Wales.
As you’d expect from a predominantly outback region, the
roads here can be empty, the distances are immense, and
some northern trails may be impassable in the Big Wet
(November to March). But the rewards are simply extraordinary,
primary among them some of the best opportunities to
experience this ancient land alongside its original inhabitants.
Stock up on supplies and hit the road.

OUTBACK AUSTRALIA HIGHLIGHTS
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Nothing prepares you for the burnished grandeur of Uluru as it first
appears on the outback horizon. With its remote desert location, deep
cultural significance and dazzling natural beauty, Uluru is a pilgrimage of
sorts. See it on Trip
